9781800087064: Collections Management as Critical Museum Practice

Synopsis

A reframing of collections management in museums worldwide.

Collections Management as Critical Museum Practice redefines collections management as a political, critical, and social project, contradicting its misperception as a set of fixed procedures and universal practices. Highlighting national museums and community-led heritage work worldwide, this book explores the complexities of numbering, digitization, and description alongside the realities of climate change, global pandemics, and natural disasters. The contributors draw on their local experiences to emphasize the varying practices, ethics, and workplace pragmatics defining this work.
